This 3 micron diamond paste is an excellent choice for refining edges before moving to ultra-fine finishing steps. It offers fast cutting speed with noticeable improvement in edge clarity, making it a practical and cost-effective alternative to very high-grit sharpening stones. As stones get finer, they also become significantly more expensive, so this paste provides an easy way to achieve excellent results without the added cost. The water-based formulation spreads easily and works cleanly on leather, balsa, and other strop materials.
A small amount goes a long way with this compound. Apply a few small dots to your strop and spread into a thin, even layer using a disposable tool like a plastic spoon. Allow it to dry before use, then strop using light, edge-trailing strokes. This paste is quick, easy to use, and very effective at improving sharpness and refining scratch patterns prior to final polishing.
Care Instructions: Store your loaded strop in a clean plastic bag and keep it under light weight to help maintain adhesion and prevent contamination from dust or debris. Avoid over-applying paste, as a thin layer provides the best performance.
Review Synopsis: Customers appreciate the strong performance and value of this 3 micron paste, noting that it delivers fast, visible improvements in edge sharpness without the need for expensive high-grit stones. Many users highlight how easy it is to apply and how effective it is as a pre-finishing step, making it a smart addition to any sharpening progression.

A lot goes a long way
Purchased all 5 mircron variants. Must be missing something.Posted By: SparkyB

I purchased the 3, 1, .5, .75, .25, then a set (that came with two leather strops, 1 micron and .5 micron and a base) for my partner for the chef knife I got her for her birthday. I see raving comments for this and the spray, and I'm very hesitant to try the spray. This isn't the first paste I've bought, or diamond, or cbn for that matter, emulsion, paste or spray, I've owned. But it is the first to make me work incredibly hard, with a few different kinds of leather; dry, water, oil; research, to still end up with very little results. I've tried VG-10, S30V, S35V. 20CV, M390, LC200N, Maxamet, and other steels and this just never seems to do much. No matter what the Micron, method, or progression. I'm sure my technique is adequate enough because I have some solid mirror finishes that are screaming sharp, done by hand on my more display knives. If someone knows something I don't, please clue me. If everyone thinks they're commenting on the spray, not paste, please, clue me in. Otherwise I have to say, you get what you pay for, I guess. It really is too good to be true.

This paste is simply amazing, I performed a bevel set on a 100 year old Wiss straight razor, 1k - 3k - 5k stones and I than used 3um paste , 1um paste and I was able to shave both my head and than my face and it was a smooth shave very comfortable no irritation at all, and the bevel has a mirror like shine to it, thanks for the amazing price I'll be back to pick up the rest of your diamond matrix products.
